The Scandy languages like long sequences of consonants, and not just for reasons of coding non-Latin sounds with the Latin alphabet.

The SKS in Fisksätra, where I live, is a problem to many immigrants. But the place has a pet name in typical Stockholm style: Fiskis.

So a lot of people call it Fiskis-ätra.

As a Dane, I would say Fisk-sætra because Fisk is recognisable, not because I know what it means.

In Danish, we have a word "angstskrig" which makes foreigners cry out in anguish.

@seindal @mrundkvist In Dutch, there is ”angstschreeuw”!
